I consider myself an anglophile. It could be because my first European vacation was a trip to London with hubby. We had so much fun and I had an immediate crush on all things British. In fact I’ve missed seeing other vacation-worthy European destinations due to my wanting to further tour England.

I admire Charles Faudree’s perfect blend of English and French furniture and his clever way with accessories. Where travel marries home decor influences in our home I’m about a 60/40 split between French and English, with English winning the floor. That said, I don’t have a single Union Jack in the house!
This is what I visualize when I think of the Union Jack…

Who doesn’t love a thatched cottage?

These trunks from Amazon are pretty cute, although the colors seem a little washed out. The large one could make a nice coffee table for a family room, what do you think?

Love the Keep Calm message (above) with the Union Jack background.

I have long admired the work of Marian of Miss Mustard Seed but when I saw this chest she refinished I knew she was not only talented but a fan of the Union Jack as well!

So, what do you think? Is the stove a bit much? 🙂
I love the U.S.A. but I certainly enjoy the U.K. as well!
Happy Thursday!

Karen,
I’ve always thought that your lovely home showed off all the best in Anglophile decorating. I still think you need to add a little Union Jack to your ship painting above the fireplace! Get Gretchen busy on that! Are you listening, Gretch?

LOL! I’ll be sure to ask Gretchen to get on that…it would look amazing.

You must definitely add a Union Jack in some manner, Karen. I don’t think I could live with it on a chest of drawers or on the cooker. The trunks are cute, but I prefer the pillows and I love the apron together with the French burlap shade!

Karen, I can’t decide if I want one of those trunks or the chest of drawers. I think my house needs more English accents! We still need to add the Union Jack to your sailing ship painting.
